After finding the perfect dress, the first fitting will be coming up soon and I need to find shoes. My dilemma: our ceremony is outdoors and on grass; I am worried heels will be sink into the ground while walking down the aisle…
Any suggestions??

I agree with MoSnow…I’m wearing flats, but our wedding in indoors.

I had the same dilema and ended up wearing flat Tommy Bahama sandals. I would have loved to wear super cute heels, but it was not worth it to sink in the ground all day! I was also worried about wearing wedges, too though…I tend to roll my ankles in them for some reason. I could see myself lugging this great big dress through the grass, hitting a lump in the ground and toppling over.

I’m going with flats for my outdoor wedding but cowboy boots are interesting. lol. If you’re doing a spring wedding then rainboots might be a cute idea.

I refuse to succumb to the fear of my heels digging into the grass! And especially because I’m 5’5 and the Fiance is 6’3 I definitely want to wear heels. And Miss Lab’s post comes to the rescue! Heel Stoppers!
I definitely plan to test these out in our backyard before the wedding!

I too am having an outdoor ceremony. I’d love to wear my cowboy boots but my dress is tea length so I’m worried that it’ll look funny. My boots and dress will probably hit at about the same place. I’m going to take my boots to my dress fitting and I’m looking for a pair of shoes. I’d love to wear heels but not sure about the sinking. I haven’t been able to find wedges that are appropriate and I really don’t want to wear flats, but I will if thats my last resort. I love flip flops but not on my wedding day.

Wedges if you want heels.
Flat sandals if you want something flat!
I can ONLY dance in heels! haha.

Thanks so much for your help! I am going to search for some great flats 🙂 I wish I would have thought of those ‘heel stoppers’! A great invention, but knowing me, they would fail just as I took my first step out of the car..
Has anyone found some interesting flats? I’m a little out of the ordinary and would love shoes to match… fun colors etc.

@MissCamera – I can’t dance in flats! It’s way too hard! We’re going to do salsa for our first dance, so I’m going to have to be on the balls of my feet anyways.
